Why does my browser jump to a website I didn't want?
Recently, when I search for a website and click on it, my browser jumps to a totally unrelated website. I can hit my back button, go back to my search and click on the exact same link, and it will take me to the page I wanted in the first place. Does anyone know what is causing this and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks!

Your computer is infected with Malware, most likely.
Download and install Malwarebytes and run a full scan. This is one of the best anti-malware products available today and it's free.
Free - Malwarebytes - Good at removing malware, and acting as a back-up program and scanner.: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware...

Yup, sounds like a bug..Malware bytes is a good one for free. Do you have an anti-Virus program too? If not, there's AVG free version or Avast anti-virus. Both decent, AVG may be a little easier to use...Just do a search and they will come up right away...There's also Advanced System Care free, that does everything to clean out your computer, although the free version doesn't update very often, so I use an extra anti-SPYware tool too. MalwareBytes should work fine as an alternate scanner even with ASC installed. If you encounter problems with any of these, just uninstall and try another one. There are several free security softwares out there, The ones recommended have a pretty good reputation....Good luck!

unless you have anti-virus, and firewall, like Norton's or McAfee,you have a hijacker on your computer.
